She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
core lifts are bench, deadlift, squat. i workout 3 times a week in that order. I also do cardio for at least 20 minutes AFTER each workout. my goal is to get to around 175. my body comp is normal i guess.Fuglydude said:Good job man. To answer your question however, it depends on what your goals are.

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Well, I definitely don't have a 6-pack. I have a spare tire that I'm trying to get rid of. That's why I do cardio. I kind of agree with you on focusing on strength and conditioning rather than bodyweight. I just don't want to get extremely big. I know that If I gain around 15 more pounds in muscle, I will be very strong and conditioned. I don't however, want to get over that number.Fuglydude said:Yep, you're right, bench, deads, squat are core lifts for powerlifting. However, I like to incorporate some olympic lifting stuff into the mix as well. I believe it makes you a more complete athlete. Post your raw numbers.
I'm gonna encourage you to stay away from purely focusing on bodyweight goals. Although I'm totally guilty of this as well, I think you should focus more on getting stronger and better conditioned, rather than just aiming to be at a certain bodyweight.
By body composition I mean how lean you are...this is often hard to estimate, but for most people, having a 6-pack means that you're in the single digits bodyfat %. You can get bodyfat tested by a variety of methods.
